Quick question.. while shopping for a uvb tube light I keep running across "Grow Lights" for indoor gardening. Do these emit uvb? Can they be used for my tortoise enclosure?

No
They're UVA and 6500 lighting for plants.
Not the UVB you need for your tortoise. Although, if you keep live plants, you can use one.

That could be useful for large indoor enclosures.

Grow lights are for plants, not for tortoises. Wrong spectrum.
